Over the weekend I bemoaned at the state of F1 and said that he needed to go. I had massive delight when I looked in my copy of The Times to see a big double page spread about his departure. What I wasn’t expecting was the paper’s nearly overly-positive take on Mosely’s departure, saying that without him F1 will be a duller place. Really? Is Max Mosely the biggest character in Formula 1? If he is then may God have mercy on us all. There are a lot of people in sport in high positions I don’t like…Richard Scudamore, Sepp Blatter and the like. But Max Mosely had such an autocratic stranglehold on the sport that it was almost impossible to like him. Yes, he made some good changes and no, The Times were not saying that the sport is totally at a loss without him…but I can’t say I’m mourning his removal from his post.
